The result format count is used to show the number of results that a semantic query in SMW would return. The result thus is simply a number. The computation of this number usually will use larger limits than the default limit set with parameter $smwgQMaxInlineLimit for inline queries, so even large numbers may be reported by count.
Parameters
There are no parameters specific to the count format. In fact, most standard parameters do not make sense either, since the output is very specific.
Example
{{#ask: [[Category:City]] [[located in::Germany]]
| format=count
}}
Result: 4
This documentation page applies to all SMW versions from 0.7 to the most current version.
